Family response
Similar incidents have occurred in the past
Neither Shetty nor his family members has commented on the incident so far. The firing has raised concerns about the safety and security of Bollywood personalities, especially since similar incidents have occurred in the past. To recall, Salman Khan's Mumbai residence was similarly targeted in a firing incident in April 2024, for which the Bishnoi gang had claimed responsibility. Coming back to Shetty, he last directed Singham Again (2024) and is currently working on a cop drama with John Abraham.
